The Alternative

[PortugueseFrank]

As do I. But I suspect our current “fan reps”, of all groups, if asked to step aside for the greater good of Dundee United would say no.

Theron lies an issue.

All successful fan movements have been thorough ONE group. Not 7.

So the answer to my question from all the enlightened ones is that right none of you know if there is a serious credible alternative. And yet you all continually beat the 'ST must go!' Drum.

Until there is an alternative I would prefer he does not do a runner. Bad job or not we are still trading and we still have a club to support.

This

Have to say it .................. Fan ownership gives me the absolute FEAR.

Just consider all the infighting, bickering , egos, public arguments and statements over the past 2/3 years from the various groups and factions. FFS it could be a complete disaster , again.

There would have to be a lot of consideration, reigning in of loose cannons and generaly more appropriate and professional behaviour. Although employing the correct and experienced people is an interesting concept.

What I would say is remember the state the Funsters got into with their SS brigade. That was a complete disaster mess.

We would have to tread warily with this approach.

And this

Until there is a proper replacement lined up then I certainly don't want ST out, the alternative could be much much worse, fan ownership being one

been like that for years though Frank to be honest. And your last sentence is spot on. Too many egos

Would be easier to break it down to who can afford to buy the club and also has the passion as a fan not many of them going about for sure. Guy from CA engineering FAV, Lorr Kelly and Brian Taylor ( partnership),Brian Cox (well afford it), how about Ricky Ross without the blue? Sham 69? Thon wumin that won £9m ( easy come easy go!) All arabs btw FACT. Oh except john gotti! He can afford it but thats ah!

There are posters from each fan group on here.

Question for each as an individual.

Would you surrender your place and your organisation if it meant the greater good of Dundee United?

I’ll be honest, I’m expecting zero responses.

Thats why no fans group will own or part of utd - but yes i would but then i am a successful businessman so easy for me to say. Maybe the heads of all these factions that is their life that is their aspiration. and fair play but too many factions voices and not enough focus.

FYI - i have previously enquired about ownership and investment into utd. I was treated like a leper and wont be back. You probably know who I am given some of your insight and comments.

Not much of a clue considering United treat everyone including paying customers like lepers on a day to day basis.

Off topic but I know many people at other clubs and United have a bad reputation for arrogance, poor preparation and lack of professionalism throughout the dealings. Wether transfers, media department (in particular) or operations.

We are not a well liked club. It’s embarrassing for me when in my dealings I have people remind me of how the club’s departments have acted arrogantly and dismissively.

Agree and you are not who i thought you were. i would say arrogance and ignorance is a leadership style i could associate with the club. Unfortunately more through ignorance than any self belief or historic delivery
